High School Senior Session: Melinda

August 1, 2008 – 7:54 pm

Ah, so much for keeping up with blog this week! I mean well, but I should know better than to make such promises during the peak of wedding and high school senior season. This week I photographed Melinda for her high school senior portraits. Melinda was such a natural in front of the camera and I had a difficult time narrowing down my favorites.

In other news, today my husband, Dave, and I are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary! Some of my clients have met Dave at weddings when he shoots with me (he’s really good!). Anyhow, much has happened in that time…babies, awesome trips, new jobs, and what seems like a countless number of moves (although I did just count and we’ve moved exactly six times in 10 years). And through it all we remain best friends.

To celebrate, Dave is taking me out for a yummy dinner tonight. And in honor of the event I decided to scan and post one of our wedding photos. Have mercy on me–it was 1998.

Tomorrow I have a huuuuge wedding that I’m so excited for. I also have a backlog of weddings to post, so check back soon!

Bluegrass Festival

June 14, 2008 – 12:39 pm

Last night we ventured out to the Sacajawea Bluegrass Festival just east of Pasco, WA for a little music and fun. Here are some shots from the evening. (I rented a super-fun-bendy lens for a wedding I am going to photograph tomorrow, so of course I had to test it out!)

There were quite a few golden retrievers there and someone was joking that they thought they might be handing them out at the gate.

These days all she does is dance, dance, dance.

Some fun with the 24mm TS-E!

‘Tis the season of grads

June 10, 2008 – 1:10 am

We had a weekend full of graduation events. On Saturday, our nephew Jake Haworth graduated from Richland High School and there was a party held in his honor. Here he is surrounded by his two big brothers. These three are all incredible athletes!

Then tonight my son graduated from kindergarten. Here he is with his buddy, Alex.

And waiting in the wings for the ceremony.

Accepting his diploma.

We never had these sorts of intermediate graduation ceremonies when I was growing up and I thought perhaps it would be overkill, but it was really sweet and fun! Now I need to get busy planning some fun stuff to keep us entertained this summer.
